Abstract: With the increase of urbanization  and the rise of the “smart
cities”, it is time to exploit existing technologies and more importantly
develop new paradigms  to improve the quality of life and the well-being,
whilst reducing the environmental impact. Scientific and technological
advances in the areas of data science, Internet of Things (IoT), and data
management, along with the release of unique, yet complex, data and
information sources trigger unprecedented opportunities for innovation
within the areas of smart cities and smart mobility.  The continuously
rising data volume and complexity constitute big challenges that research
and business entities are facing today. Major drivers for the increasing
complexity of data are the instrumentation of our environment and everyday
life in a truly massive scale using fixed installations and mobile devices
and the emergence of powerful technologies that allow inexpensive data
collection and storage.

At the same time, new technological solutions shall allow us to recognise
and use the hidden resources and data flows of urban environments for
informed decision making (by city manages, businesses or citizens). This
includes using new sources of data and technology to acquire a thorough
understanding of the environmental impact of urban growth and main
vulnerabilities associated to different city zones for developing a more
environmentally sustainable environment and reducing carbon footprint. What
to minimize? Why? Where? And how? Thanks to the Internet and other mobile
technologies citizens can today engage in collecting and analysing data;
hence, contributing actively in the co-production of smart city services
and transportation.

The main focus of this workshop includes providing answers to the following
key challenges: (1) How can we build an environmentally sustainable
ecosystem whilst providing seamless experience in smart mobility? (2) How
can data science, IoT, and data management technologies be exploited for
innovative solutions within the areas of smart cities and smart mobility?
(3) How can ICTs enhance citizen engagement and influence decision makers
when launching smart city initiatives?
